Parent's of Diabetics Should Consider Diabetes Camps For Their Children

As a parent of a child with diabetes (my daughter was diagnosed at 6 years of age), I had the good fortune to meet Dr. Bruce Morton, who founded the diabetes camps in Nova Scotia. As a former camp director of non-specialized camps, I understood the "family nature" of summer camps. However the world of diabetes was new to me, and I really didn't know how it all fit together.

After living with diabetes and attending camp for 22 years, I think that I now understand why diabetes camp is such an intensely wonderful experience.

As the "Camp Guy," I would love to hear from you and your children on any issues involving diabetes camps. I would love to especially hear about your experiences involving how camp changed individuals and families. Please write to me and let me know how diabetes camp has changed your life!
